In addition to standard con fare like panels, movies, dealers, and a con suite, programming will include Q&A sessions; a masquerade; a cabaret featuring performances by our guests to raise money for Atlanta Habitat for Humanity; live video commentary on Doctor Who or Torchwood with Andrew Cartmel; a Doctor Who vs. Stargate human chess match; live music by Hyperdrive; dance; costume contest; and more. Given that three people who were there during "The Remembrance of the Daleks" story, we will certainly have something big planned for that!

Famous quotes containing the word conventions:
“Art, it seems to me, should simplify. That, indeed, is very nearly the whole of the higher artistic process; finding what conventions of form and what detail one can do without and yet preserve the spirit of the whole—so that all that one has suppressed and cut away is there to the reader’s consciousness as much as if it were in type on the page.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
